| Research Abstract |
This study developed several curriculums for learning scientific literacy. These curriculums have three features.(1) Learning the scientific inquiry method such as the hypothesis-testing process,(2) Utilizing the educational information system for experiencing the method, and(3) Using"backward design"as a framework for the theory of curriculum design. In this study, two curriculums for undergraduate students and six curriculums covered by elementary and junior high schools were discussed. Especially, the first curriculums were investigated through classroom practices in undergraduate science classroom.
